After switching on the
PRIMEDIC
™
Defi-Monitor
the alarm
is not active. This is shown on the monitor. The alarm can be
activated by pressing the SpO
2
ALARM (25). The SpO
2
ALARM (25) operates in ring counting method, i.e. every
depression of the key causes a continuation by one alarm
step.
The message displayed on the monitor (e.g. SpO
2
ALARM 80
/ 90) means that a rhythmic alarm is released when a SpO
2
value is falling below 80 % or passing 90%.
The alarm bell flashes. If the alarm is released it can be
acknowledged (switched off) by shortly pressing SpO
2
ALARM (25). The alarm audio signal is switched off for about
a minute. The alarm bell symbol is crossed out during muting.
If you want to change the alarm limits or switch of the alarm,
press SpO
2
ALARM (25) until the desired message e.g. SpO
2
ALARM
— — —
is displayed on the monitor.
After a defibrillation the SpO
2
ALARMs are automatically set
OFF.
Note:
Test possibility for alarm circuit.
Select alarm limits with no patient connected. The optical and
acoustical alarm has to be released immediately. After
acknowledging ALARM (press button 28) the acoustical
alarm is suppressed for about 1 minute. The optical alarm has
to remain active (intermittent alarm signal).
Note:
If no SpO
2
value is displayed, this can mean that:
−
no sensor or SpO
2
patient cable is connected
−
sensor damaged
The alarm will be released in any of the above mentioned
cases with alarm limits activated.
